Hi there,

Can altering title tags and meta descriptions too often have a negative impact on page ranking?

Thank you!

Ok.

Well changing the page title could help, as well as on-page optimization but what really could help is to create some good content and get (build) some good relevant links to help your page rank.

Have a look at this article

Hope it helps.

I am referring to pages that are not ranking as well as I want them to.

Well if those pages rank well and you do get traffic why would you update it so often?

My client is using a mobile template for their local pages and the Google search console is reporting thousands of duplicate titles/meta descriptions

So my client has 2000+ different store locations. Each location has the standard desktop location and my client opted for a corresponding mobile template for each location. Now the Google search console is reporting thousands of duplicate titles/meta descriptions. However this is only because the mobile template and desktop store pages are using the exact same title/meta description tag. Is Google penalizing my client for this? Would it be worth it to update the mobile template title/meta description tags?

What punctuation can you use in meta tags? Are there any Google does not like?

So I know you can use dashes and | in meta tags, but can anyone tell me what other punctuation you can use? Also, it'd be great to know what punctuation you can't use. Thanks!

Do Collections in Shopify create Duplicate Pages according to Google/Bing/Yahoo?

I'm using the e-commerce platform Shopify to host an e-store. We've put our products into different collections. Shopify automatically creates different URL paths to a product in multiple collections. I'm worried that the same product listed in different collections is soon as different pages, and therefore duplicate content by Google/Bing/Yahoo. Would love to get your opinion on this concern! Thanks! Matthew

Description and Title keyword Not showing in Google SERP?

It appears our description and title have disappeared in Goggle and Bing search results. We currently did a update to Magento 1.7 and the robots.txt included this: User-agent: * Disallow: / But that is fixed in Google Webmaster tools and everything else looks good. Here is the site: http://www.oxygenconcentratorstore.com/ Any help would be awesome. Thanks. google_serp.jpg

Why crawl error "title missing or empty" when there is already "title and meta desciption" in place?

I've been getting 73 "title missing or empty" warnings from SEOMOZ crawl diagnostic. This is weird as I've installed yoast wordpress seo plugin and all posts do have title and meta description. But why the results here.. can anyone explain what's happening? Thanks!! Here are some of the links that are listed with "title missing, empty". Almost all our blog posts were listed there. http://www.gan4hire.com/blog/2011/are-you-here-for-good/ http://www.gan4hire.com/blog/2011/are-you-socially-awkward/ MaeM3.png TLcD8.png

Meta description tag missing in crawl diagnostics

Each week I've been looking at my crawl diagnostics and seomoz still flags a few pages with missing meta description although they are definitely in there. Any ideas on why this would be happening?
